A night of Radical Hospitality





We arrived in Lumberton Texas for the night on Friday. We were to stay with the Aliaga family, friends form Covington, who moved here a few years ago. their son Darien joined us on this trip!
When we arrived, the power box blew! We had no electricity and 17 hungry people, looking for a cool place to spend the night.
the neighbors opened their homes, we stayed there, and cooked dinner outside!
Would you be able to let seven or eight guest into your home at the drop of a hat?

Work Day 4





On Thursday we worked at the home of Becky Johnson, and we cleaned the yard, removed molded wall board, and began removing the air handlers and duct work. We also worked on carry out things she had gone through and finally was ready to either keep or get rid of. You can see the water mark of the dresser that shower about three feet of water on that floor!
It was so hot, 110 with heat index, that the group we are working with , Help4Galveston, stopped all teams at 2:00pm. We had already fell exhausted! But with some recuperation we were able to rebound enough to enjoy and afternoon of relaxation in air conditioning and then some shopping at the Strand, a tourist shopping section of Galveston.
